peekay Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Built last year, paint is Zero base and Tamiya clear, the interior is the kit's rubbery black vinyl, unpainted. This is the simpler re-issue with some PE parts from the HiTech version. (I couldn't deal with the wierd chassis in the HiTech version with its PE box-section frame that you had to fold into shape. Nein danke! But the PE wire wheels were very nice). The grill is from a tea strainer and the tiny snaps on the upper doors are chrome decals from Global Toy in China. These are great! Easier to use than PE, more chrome-like and they don't have that hard edge that PE usually has. There are also several very nice Ferarri sets in different scales. I sprayed the chrome steel wheels (the hubcaps are seperate pieces) with two light coats of Tamiya matt clear which produced exactly the finish I'd hoped for. And I added a more realistic exhaust pipe.

Greg Wann Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I had a neighbor when I was a kid that stood six foot six. He drove one of these and had plenty of room for his head with the top up. Very nice build. I really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
